Energy estimation of the interaction of a roller vibratory classifier’s blade with crushed rock mass for solving design problems

摘要

The roller vibratory classifier is equipped with an impact device for implementing vibro-shock mode, which improves the classification efficiency, especially of viscous and wet materials. The new device is a disk nozzle with blades, which are made like petals of wearresistant polymer. The immersion of a petal at a given depth in a crushed rock mass is investigated experimentally. Theoretical studies includes pair correlation and regression analysis methods. It is obtained that an increase in humidity promotes penetration and leads to a decrease in the energy necessary for impact, whereas an increase in particle size and layer thickness leads to its increase. Analysis of regression equations makes it possible to establish the percentage ratio of influencing factors. The article presents mathematical models of impact energy from variable factors for the initial moisture content of the material, including separately for small classes (-2.5 + 1) mm and further, with variation of all three parameters in the range: layer thickness – 20-40 mm, particle size 1-10 mm, humidity – up to 9 %. The obtained correlation dependencies and regression models are necessary for improving the existing and designing new blade-type roller vibratory classifiers.
